Topic: Trying to Create a New Logo (Read 5370 times)

Okay... So my logo - which I lost the original for - was getting a bit tired, so I thought I'd try creating a new one. Below is what I managed to cobble together in Photoshop...Opinions/suggestions welcome.

I'm thinking about releasing (my first) an App for the Windows Phone ... So I thought it best to tidy up my image a bit before shooting myself in the foot.

I'm no expert but think in general it looks fine. It's not as cute as the one in your avatar (I'm presuming that's the one you lost the original of?).

A couple of details that should be changed imo:1) the hat need a little highlighting - very little I think, but needed to give it more 3 dimensionality2) it needs a little perspective in the sphere grid lines (see below)

I was actually shooting for a bit less cute but still true to form. And yes my avatar was originally quite large (when created - before getting lost) and was done in Ulead's Cool 3D.

A couple of details that should be changed imo:1) the hat need a little highlighting - very little I think, but needed to give it more 3 dimensionality2) it needs a little perspective in the sphere grid lines (see below)

Other than the highlighting issue that Tomos has me wondering about, I'm kinda liking the last hat's subtle asymmetry. So I may go with it but save the others in the project file so it can be changed up once in a while. Right now I need to focus on figuring out how to get my new (WPF/XAML) Windows phone app finalized and submitted to the Windows App Store. I'd started to put the old one in the app, and on reflection decided enough was enough ... It's a low quality copy of an image that was created over a decade ago. New computer-->New OS-->New IDE-->New platform-->New language....and the same old tired ass logo?!? f!# it ... This thing needs to be updated, and given a wee bit of attitude.

I caught the drop shadow right after I posted the first version - kinda surprised nobody else nailed me for that one. It's fixed in the later versions. I need to find a Photoshop tutorial for the hat part ... I'm really not good at this artsy suff.
